Harddrive Drivers

[Kronox001]

im getting a new system soon and i was wondering if i should delete all my drivers(motherboard,gfx card,cpu) of my old system before putting its hardrive in my new one?

Personally, I'd reformat it completely. Especially if your new hardware is substantially different from your old hardware.

even if im running windows on another harddrive?

Well, you'll still want to delete the OS on that drive, right? There may be a way to delete the OS without a reformat, but that's still what I'd do. That's just me though...Good luck.

If you are not going to be using the same components, than yes, I would delete them.

They may not cause a conflict---but they might and it could be a real hassle for you.

You don't have to reformat but you will be cleaning up manually otherwise.
